SUMMARY:Peace At The Polls: Arizona January 6 Vigil for Democracy
DESCRIPTION:As the nation prepares for the anniversary of the Jan 6th insurrection\, a coalition of non-partisan democracy defenders calls on the public to mobilize and stand with us for Peace at the Polls. This is not just in response to the Jan 6th insurrection and violence at the capitol\, but against the growing call to violence against our democracy. \nThe survival of our democracy depends on Americans coming together—setting aside political\, philosophical\, social\, economic\, racial\, ethnic\, religious\, regional and community differences. Together\, we will assure that the right to vote is guaranteed\, votes are counted and reported with integrity\, and duly-elected officials and workers are free to serve the people in an atmosphere of peace. \nJoin the Arizona Faith Network\, The African American Christian Clergy Coalition\, Mi Familia Vota\, The Services Employees International Union\, AFL/CIO\, RAZE (Rural Arizona Coalition)\, AAPINH Unity and Action and other Declaration For American Democracy organizations in Arizona as they prepare to embark on a year of action. If you’re not able to attend in person\, the vigil will be live-streamed on Facebook. \nRSVP

DESCRIPTION:November 22\, 2021: THE CLIMATE OF THE FUTURE  – Kim Stanley Robinson\, Writer\, The Ministry for the Future (2020) \nKim Stanley Robinson has written a science fiction thriller on climate collapse in 2025 that reads as hard-edge journalism.  With short chapters written from the perspectives of a myriad of characters\, Robinson looks at climate change through lens of a kaleidoscope.  With each turn of his wrist\, we see another point view brought forward with imagination and a pragmatic visions on what must be done in order for us to survive.  Christian Holub writes “Robinson lays a blueprint for fighting climate change.” This may be one of the most important books published in the last two decades.  Bill McKibben said in his review of “The Ministry For The Future\,” in the New York Review of Books\, “This is not science fiction…..”  With questions ranging from what the end of capitalism might look like to surviving the end of the world\, Kim Stanley Robinson gives us a possible path to move forward with faith in what we can create together. \nRegister here: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Ki9SObPISlWvz9kaCDOTVA \n\nTerry Tempest Williams (author and Harvard Divinity School writer-in-residence)\, Charles M.

SUMMARY:THE CLIMATE OF ATTENTION
DESCRIPTION:November 15\, 2021: THE CLIMATE OF ATTENTION  –  Elizabeth Kolbert\, staff writer for The New Yorker\, Under White Sky: The Nature of the Future (2021) \nNo one has covered the climate crisis as deeply and as thoughtfully as Elizabeth Kolbert. From Field Notes From A Catastrophe (2007) to her Pulitzer-prize winning book The Sixth Extinction (2016) to her most recent book\, Under The White Sky “a book about people trying to solve problems caused by people trying to solve problems” that discusses what “a good Anthropocene” might look like from managing fish in the Midwest to including geo-engineering the atmosphere that will turn our blue sky white. Kolbert is a brilliant writer and an impeccable journalist writing from the front lines of climate change. Rolling Stone Magazine writes\, “To be a well-informed citizen of Planet Earth\, you need to read Elizabeth Kolbert.” This will be an illuminating conversation about where we find ourselves now and in the future depending on what choices we choose to make and the actions we are willing or not willing to take on behalf of a liveable future. \nRegister here: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_hNyYCudFRHeMVmtSxThn1A \n\nTerry Tempest Williams (author and Harvard Divinity School writer-in-residence)\, Charles M.

SUMMARY:THE CLIMATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Torres was born in New York City and spent her childhood between the island of Puerto Rico and the mainland United States. Throughout the course of her life work\, she has spent several years traveling and sharing the importance of preserving oral storytelling traditions around the world. Torres is an ordained West African traditional storyteller of over 40 years. She received two chieftaincies on August 1\, 1984 in the village of Imota West Africa\, Nigeria as a descendant of the “children of slavery from the island of Puerto Rico.” During her stay in Nigeria\, she was hosted by the African Religious [Ogboni] Society of African Descendants and received a renaming ceremony\, giving her the name “Omifunke\,” meaning “the waters have returned the last born” in honor of her journey to the land of her ancestors. \nTorres has built a life of study and world travels\, earning a Master of Science in Not-for-Profit Management\, Public Policy and Organizational Development. Her research has taken her to such countries as: Brazil\, Canada\, England\, France\, Ghana\, Greece\, Indonesia\, Mexico\, Nigeria\, Panama\, Peru\, Spain and Scotland. In 1995\, her research bridging the oral traditions of West African people with cultures around the world resulted in relocating to Montana before migrating to Arizona in 2000. She has dedicated several years to teaching elementary school children and middle school youth as an educational partner with the Storytelling Institute at South Mountain Community College. Her focus has been to advocate the use of story and storytelling as an educational strategy to teach all forms of literacy\, academic achievement and college-bound leadership as an Early College approach to student success in education amoung youth. \nIn 2009\, Torres was invited to join Maricopa Community Colleges as Residential Faculty for the Storytelling Institute in the Communication\, Fine Arts and Social Sciences Division. Torres currently teaches courses in The Art of Storytelling\, Multicultural Folktales\, African Oral Traditions\, Using Storytelling for Advocacy\, Storytelling for Business and more. \nVIOLET DUNCAN \nViolet Duncan is Plains Cree and Taino from Kehewin Cree Nation. She has toured nationally and internationally as an author\, educator\, dancer and storyteller. Duncan facilitates workshops to promote spiritual wellness and cultural education across the United States\, Canada and Europe. After becoming a mother of four and seeing the need for Native representation in literature\, she took it upon herself to author three award winning children’s books\, “I Am Native\,” “When We Dance” and “Let;s Hoop Dance!” Her newest book\, “I Am Native\,” released in 2020\, shares a glimpse into the wonderful world of a multigenerational Native family. This book showcases beautiful imagery of family members passing down traditions in both traditional and modern ways. She has recently joined the Random House publishing family\, with two new children’s books coming out in 2022. She is currently the Indigenous Cultural Advisor at the Tempe Center for the Arts where she aims to create space for a permanent program of Indigenous performance and practice. \nSome of Duncan’s accomplishments include holding the “Miss Indian World” title and representing all Indigenous people of North America. In the 2013 music video for “Big Hoops” by Nelly Furtado\, Duncan was the Native American Fancy Dancer. \nDOUG BLAND \nDoug Bland is the founder and Executive Director of Arizona Interfaith Power & Light—a spiritual response to the climate crisis. As a new grandfather\, he has yet another reason to care for the future of our precious planet home. He retired from the Community Christian Church in Tempe where he served as pastor for twenty-three years. The church’s inter-religious and multicultural storytelling concerts earned the Diversity Award from the Tempe Human Relations Commission. Besides his interest in connecting spirituality and ecology\, Bland is passionate about the art of storytelling. He is adjunct faculty at the Storytelling Institute at South Mountain Community College\, where he has taught Telling Sacred Stories\, Storytelling and Advocacy and Storytelling and Healing.

SUMMARY:THE CLIMATE OF GRIEF
DESCRIPTION:Poet Victoria Chang writes in her New York Times Notable Book of 2020\, OBIT “I always knew that grief was something I could smell. But I didn’t know that it’s not actually a noun but a verb. That it moves.” After the deaths of her parents\, she refused to write elegies\, instead she wrote poetic obituaries of the beautiful\, broken world that surrounded – Many see them as love letter. How does poetry illuminate this time of uncertainty. What we thought was a pause is now a place – grief is part of this place.  How do we embrace grief and not look away  from all that is breaking our hearts.  “Give sorrow words\,” Chang writes and she does. \nRegister here: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_BdGi-JXVSDe8RpzNonMLqQ \n\nTerry Tempest Williams (author and Harvard Divinity School writer-in-residence)\, Charles M.

SUMMARY:INDIGENOUS DAY
DESCRIPTION:October 18\, 2021: THE CLIMATE OF COMPASSION FOR ALL BEINGS — Janet Gyatso\, Hershey Professor of Buddhist Studies and the Associate Dean for Faculty and Academic Affairs at HDS School. \nWe are not the only species that lives and loves and grieves on this planet.  Janet Gyatso will bring provocative and evocative questions and ideas forward surrounding the sentience of all beings focusing on the phenomenology of being-with other animals and humans.  And how we can cultivate the capacity to have such experiences\, in ways that might ethically reform us and our ethical and spiritual practices. How might compassion and an understanding toward animals heighten and mirror a reciprocal relationship toward each other and what it means to not only to be human\, but one species among many? \nRegister here: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-VVFRx0QTSuynnOnK3Cuyw \n\nTerry Tempest Williams (author and Harvard Divinity School writer-in-residence)\, Charles M.

SUMMARY:Hear the Call:  Jews for a Just Green Recovery
DESCRIPTION:Senator Sinema’s Office\, 3333 E Camelback Rd\, Phoenix \nDuring Rosh Hashanah\, the Arizona Jewish community will gather in front of Senator Kyrsten Sinema’s office\, urging her to support the full 3.5 trillion dollars of the upcoming recovery package\, also known as the Reconciliation Bill. All 3.5 trillion dollars of the proposed budget—and not a penny less—is necessary for our nation to recover from the pandemic and to finally begin tackling the climate crisis. We demand that there be no cuts to climate care\, justice\, and jobs in the negotiation of this recovery package. We are calling on Sinema to stand up for her constituents by supporting the full recovery package. She must not stand in the way of our economic recovery by weakening this bill. This community gathering is organized by Arizona Jews for Justice in partnership with Dayenu:  A Jewish Call to Climate Action.

SUMMARY:SRP $1Billion Gas Plan Bad for Consumers and Environment
DESCRIPTION:Arizona’s clean energy future needs your help!  SRP\, Arizona’s second largest electric utility\, recently announced plans to spend 1 billion dollars to build 16 new gas units at its power plant in Coolidge\, Arizona. This decision could lock in decades of new fossil-fuel use\, all while Arizona sits in the bull’s eye of climate change. The decision came with almost no notice and is being rushed through at the last minute. It also appears that the utility did not seriously consider other options by\, for example\, issuing a competitive bid for alternatives like solar\, energy efficiency\, and battery storage. \nA final vote will take place on Monday\, September 13th and your voice matters more than ever. Please help speak up against this proposal by doing at least one of the following actions: \n\nJoin the protest outside SRP headquarters on Friday\, September 10th from 9-11am\, 1500 N Mill Ave\, Tempe.\nUse this toolkit to take action.\nIf you haven’t already\, sign this petition opposing the expansion of this gas plant.\nSend a postcard using an easy way to let the SRP Board that customers and others oppose this plan\, created by our friends at Vote Solar.\nCheck out more information on why this is a bad plan\, by reading Paul Hirt’s op-ed in the Arizona Capitol Times.\n\n

Now our task is to manage the transition to ensure it’s both just and sustainable.” \n– Paul Hirt\, Emeritus Professor of Environmental History and Sustainability\, Arizona State University\n \nE2 invites you to a national webinar featuring the American Resilience Project’s latest work\, Current Revolution: Nation in Transition\, how the transition to renewable energy is both a blessing and a curse for communities living under the weight of environmental and health impacts of a coal fired power plant that provides the best jobs in the district. \nThe 30-minute film documents the closing of the Navajo Generating Station and examines how we\, as a nation\, can transition from fossil fuels to clean energy in a way that builds resilience and new opportunities for the communities and workers affected by the energy transition. \nDuring the webinar discussion\, we will highlight the importance of developing clean energy jobs and how the American Jobs Plan can support the Navajo nation\, Arizona\, and rural America. \nE2 Co-founder Nicole Lederer will moderate a discussion with Representative O’Halleran (AZ-1)\, filmmaker Roger Sorkin\, and Suzanne Singer & Edward Dee\, clean energy leaders in the Navajo community. \nUpon registering for the webinar you will receive a link to view the film in advance (we will not show the full movie in the webinar). \nThis webinar will be simultaneously translated into Spanish\, for those who choose.
